St Francis Bay Reviews

It's just the place to get way from the hustle of everyday life. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility of St Francis Bay. Visiting the lighthouse and seeing the penguins were a great experience.

Lovely enclave

St Francis Bay is a lovely spot with walks to the point, good beaches, golf courses and sufficient shops to avoid leaving for a week. The restaurants at the Port are good and varied.Fishing is available at the port but water sport requires a 30km trip to Jeffery's Bay

A relaxing destination

St Francis Bay is a gorgeous place to stay for a relaxing holiday. There is not that much to do or see besides the beautiful beach; there are not many options for eating out, but if you want to sit on the veranda and drink a glass of wine, and go to the beach, it is the perfect place to relax.
